摘要:To estimate the expected shortfall, a coherent risk measure, this paper proposes an easily implemented regression technique based on a proportional mean residual life regression model with explanatory (lagged) variables. The parameters are estimated by using a quasi-likelihood method and the asymptotic normality of the proposed estimator is derived under an α-mixing process assumption. Based on a simulation study, the proposed estimator performs fairly well. In the empirical study, the backtesting procedure is conducted based on the daily and weekly return of S&P 500 Index using the 95% confidence level. The performance of the model is evaluated by its ability to accurately estimate ES compared with two more alternative models. The results generally favor the proposed model over the alternative models.
